"Samson" is a 1912 sculpture by Danish artist J.J. Bregnø, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The sculpture depicts the biblical figure Samson, known for his superhuman strength, in a moment of vulnerability and defeat. The figure stands with his head bowed, his powerful physique contrasting with his dejected posture. The sculpture's realistic detail and emotional intensity are hallmarks of Bregnø's style, which often drew inspiration from classical and biblical themes.
